    Nope. People are on a roundabout and in the UK you will be going clockwise. So traffic on the roundabout is coming from your right.

    I’ve driven in Italy/Germany and it is the opposite. People are going anti clockwise so you have to give way to your left.

    The principle is retained on mini roundabouts where you give way to people on the entrance/exit to your immediate right (or of course traffic already on the roundabout) even though those work most similar to 3/4 way stops.

    Stop signs don’t need to follow logic of traffic movement direction so you I suppose give priority to the right because being on the right side of the road they are easier to see? I’m not sure where those rules were formulated though.
